Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2599685, member: 1847"] What I liked about this try was that Barba toyed with Tomkins. He sized him up, he thought of his moves, his instincts were alive and he just knew exactly what he had to do and he did it so well - very nuch like the Barba of old: to me he thought his way around Tomkins, knowing exactly what to do. That is largely the reason I advocate Barba as the better 5/8 than Milford. Milford has the acceleration, speed and footwork, and he can pass, but Barba thinks and acts on both thought and instinct, whereas Milford just runs at the gap. If it were Milford not Barba, I am not sure he would have got away with what Barba did. For mine, that try showed exactly why Barba was, and can be, a truly great player, be it at the back, or 5/8 which is where, IMO, he ought to play ... ASAP [/QUOTE]
